Circle Time preschool offers a 2-year programme to children availing of early intervention from St Michaels House.
The preschool programme is designed for children who require nursing support to attend preschool. It encompasses all aspects of the child’s well-being and development with individual programmes in place for each child’s specific needs. Additional clinical inputs are provided by Early Services MDT, with follow-through to home.
The service accommodates a maximum of 5 children aged from 2.5 years to 6 years. It operates 3 days weekly, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 9 am to 2 pm with 3 staff; Clinic Nurse Manager 1 and 2 preschool support workers. All staff have extensive experience in the area.
Circle Time is located here at St. Benedicts Resource Centre in a community setting. The centre also houses a crèche and preschool which is ideal for facilitating interaction between the children in both services. They have the advantage of a regular local Dart and bus service for those families who can’t drive.
